This symposium introduced
pharmacists to the importance of pharmaceutical care and the development and
implementation of care planning through a hands-on interactive session based on
team-based learning.

Participants were given practical
knowledge on ways of applying this information in their own practice.

During the congress there was a
session of case studies on Antimicrobial Resistance. Dr Tonna was invited as
one of the experts on the panel and was asked to comment on antimicrobial
choice for each of the cases presented.

In addition, Dora Mueller, a successful
RGU postgraduate student from Vienna, was a poster prize nominee. She was given
an opportunity to present her research and was awarded third prize, out of a
considerable amount of submissions.

Dr Antonella Tonna said: “The
EAHP Congress has grown over the years, becoming the biggest hospital
pharmacist congress in Europe, attracting up to 4,000 delegates from across the
world.

“It’s been pleasing to note that
as it’s grown, so too has the reputation of our School of Pharmacy and Life
Sciences, with RGU now being ranked by The Guardian as the number one
university for Pharmacy in Scotland.

“We look forward to
continuing to represent the university at future events and congresses and
using our staff’s expert knowledge to improve pharmacy standards across
Europe.”
